Holyfield came out of retirement for the fight and beat Tyson in an 11th round TKO. Later a rematch was scheduled and Holyfield was beating Tyson. In the Holyfield head-butted Tyson, opening a cut over Tyson’s right eye. Then in the third round spit out his mouthpiece, bit off a chunk out of Holyfield’s right ear and then spit it onto the canvas. The fight continued after a short break when Tyson bit Holyfield's other ear. ]]> 2022-10-24 16:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/leholder/9jxtnzmqwaq8c5cv/wish/2353896628 leholder https://padlet.com/leholder/9jxtnzmqwaq8c5cv/wish/2353901707 Mike Tyson didn't have any endorsements to loose because he had just gotten out of a 3 year prison sentence. Therefore no endorsements were lost. ]]> 2022-10-24 16:05:13 UTC https://padlet.com/leholder/9jxtnzmqwaq8c5cv/wish/2353901707 leholder https://padlet.com/leholder/9jxtnzmqwaq8c5cv/wish/2353908271 Mike Tyson was disqualified from the fight, and his $30 million purse was withheld while Nevada boxing officials reviewed the fight. Tyson's boxing license was revoked by the Nevada State Athletic Commission as well, and he was fined $3 million plus legal fees.]]> 2022-10-24 16:09:00 UTC https://padlet.com/leholder/9jxtnzmqwaq8c5cv/wish/2353908271 leholder https://padlet.com/leholder/9jxtnzmqwaq8c5cv/wish/2353919165 Tyson hated to lose and the fans had turned on him. He was already angry and when Holyfield headbuted him he got even mor up set. The biting of the ear was probably in frustration and retaliation, but I have no idea why he did a second time ]]> 2022-10-24 16:15:20 UTC https://padlet.com/leholder/9jxtnzmqwaq8c5cv/wish/2353919165 leholder https://padlet.com/leholder/9jxtnzmqwaq8c5cv/wish/2353922914 Mike Tyson should have just stayed calm and composed during the fight. Also if he wanted to retaliate he should have done it legally and used his anger to fuel him during the fight.]]> 2022-10-24 16:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/leholder/9jxtnzmqwaq8c5cv/wish/2353922914 leholder https://padlet.com/leholder/9jxtnzmqwaq8c5cv/wish/2353927232 The action made him lose a lot of fans and lots of people viewed him as irrational and unpredictable. Not a lot of people like him after this. ]]> 2022-10-24 16:19:50 UTC https://padlet.com/leholder/9jxtnzmqwaq8c5cv/wish/2353927232 leholder https://padlet.com/leholder/9jxtnzmqwaq8c5cv/wish/2353931071 People still view Tyson as crazy but he is recognized as one of the best boxers. He has gained some respect and wisdom in his older age. ]]> 2022-10-24 16:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/leholder/9jxtnzmqwaq8c5cv/wish/2353931071 leholder https://padlet.com/leholder/9jxtnzmqwaq8c5cv/wish/2353934729 I think that punishment was fair and well deserved, because not only did he bit the ear of his opponent but he tried to do it twice. The action was completely unacceptable and uncalled for. ]]> 2022-10-24 16:23:48 UTC https://padlet.com/leholder/9jxtnzmqwaq8c5cv/wish/2353934729 leholder https://padlet.com/leholder/9jxtnzmqwaq8c5cv/wish/2353940009 Actions like these were carried outside of the world of boxing and this was shown. He went bankrupt and went to jail for accused domestic violence, rape and position on cocaine. Therefore yes actions like this were in Tyson's day to day life as well. ]]> 2022-10-24 16:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/leholder/9jxtnzmqwaq8c5cv/wish/2353940009
